Uveitis is the term used for inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. It is the layer between the sclera (white coat of the eye) and the retina (the back of the eye). The uvea is a crucial part of the eye as it consists of blood vessels that nourish the eye. Inflammation in this part of the eye can affect vision and other parts of the eye – the cornea, the retina, and the sclera. Unlike conventional medicine, Homeopathic medicines for uveitis do not use steroids and surgical procedures which may lead to further complications like glaucoma, cataract and in some cases, blindness.
Uveitis is mainly classified into anterior uveitis, posterior uveitis and intermediate uveitis based on the part of the eye involved. Anterior uveitis (iritis) is the inflammation of the anterior chamber and the iris. Intermediate uveitis (cyclitis) is the inflammation of the cells of the vitreous cavity and mainly affects the ciliary bodies of the eye. Posterior uveitis affects the back of the eye. It is the inflammation of the retina (retinitis) and the choroid (choroiditis). The main signs and symptoms of the uveitis are redness of the eye, blurred vision, photophobia, eye pain and floaters (dark spots). In most cases, the cause of uveitis is not clear. Uveitis can occur due to an eye injury, an inflammatory disorder (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis), an infection (herpes zoster, tuberculosis) and is sometimes even associated with an auto-immune disorder (ankylosing spondylitis, sarcoidosis).
Advantage of Homeopathy Treatment
Homeopathy medicines are a natural and safe mode of treatment of eye disorders. The approach involves strengthening the body’s own healing system to repair organs and make them disease-free. Homeopathy takes the holistic approach, dealing first with the condition that has caused uveitis, be it an auto-immune disorder, an inflammatory disease or an infection. It starts by moderating the immune system, eradicating the disease at the root and preventing a recurrence.
Homeopathic Medicines for Uveitis
Top rated medicines for uveitis are Mercurius Corrosivus, Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum, Phosphorus, and Mercurius Solublis.
1. Mercurius Corrosivus – Top Remedy for Uveitis with Tearing Pain in the Eyes
Natural medicine Mercurius Corrosivus is considered one of the top grade medicines for uveitis, especially in the treatment of anterior uveitis (iritis) and posterior uveitis (retinitis). Where a person complains of shooting, burning and tearing pain in the eye, Mercurius Corrosivus is the best treatment plan. In such cases, the iris is thick, muddy in color and neither contracts nor dilates. Excessive photophobia with severe pain behind the eyeballs as if they were being forced out is also treated well with Mercurius Corrosivus, making it one of the most recommended medicines for uveitis.
2. Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum – Effective Remedy for Uveitis
Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum is one of the ideal medicines for uveitis with severe pain and redness of the eyes. Anterior uveitis (iritis) with pus in the anterior chamber is well treated with this medicine. The person experiences severe pain in the eyes as if they are being pulled back to the head. The eyeballs feel sore, extremely sensitive to touch and air. Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum is one of the best medicines for uveitis of this type.
3. Phosphorus – For Degenerative Uveitis
Phosphorus is one of the most prominent medicines for uveitis, especially for posterior uveitis (choroiditis and retinitis). The person experiences pain and frequent itching in the eyes in such cases. In fact, it is the most effective among medicines for uveitis cases with degenerative changes in the retina, along with an aversion to light (photophobia).
4. Mercurius Solublis – For Uveitis Related Inflammation
Another of the most valuable medicines for uveitis is Mercurius Solublis. It has shown the most remarkable results in eradicating inflammation of the iris (iritis) and retina (retinitis). The symptoms usually include cutting, stinging or aching pain, especially on exerting the eyes. The eyes are extremely sensitive to light, heat or cold. Mercurius Solublis is one of the most wonderful medicines for uveitis or other eye disorders in persons working in foundries.

Hello Doctor,
I have been diagnosed with choroiditis in Rt eye since Jan 2016 and have been on heavy steroid dose of 80mg daily. Dose was decreased 10mg per week till it reached 5 mg. Condition improved a little but once medicines were discontinued it came back with new lesions and i m back on steroids again.I also tested positive for Mantoux skin test but negitive on TBferon test but I’m put on TB treatment as well along with steroids.Currently I can read with my Rt eye but I can see foggy blocks at bottom n left side of my right eye vision.
After 6 years now, i see my old lesion is active & flared up inching towards fovea centre. I have been put on IV methyl prednisolone for last 3 days and have been asked to continue with oral prednisolone 90mg along with azothioprine 100 mg daily. Since I have not completed my ATT completely in 2016, i have been asked to start it.
Please suggest if there is remedy available to treat choroiditis in homeopathy and I will be more than happy to start the treatment.
Awaiting your reply doctor,
Thanks in anticipation of a reply,
